ZEEBRUGGE The Greatest Raid of All By Christopher Sandford The dramatic story of the 1918 Zeebrugge raid and the men who volunteered in their hundreds for this suicidally dangerous mission, based on first-hand accounts. The combined forces invasion of the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on 23 April 1918 remains one of Britain’s most ambitious military undertakings. It was not quite as epic a failure as the charge of the Light Brigade, or as well publicised as the Dam Busters raid, but with many of the same basic ingredients. A force drawn from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines set out on ships and submarines to try to block the key strategic port, in a bold attempt to stem the catastrophic losses being inflicted on British shipping by German submarines. It meant attacking a heavily fortified German naval base. The tide, calm weather and the right wind direction for a smoke screen were crucial to the plan. Judged purely on results, it can only be considered a partial strategic success. Casualties were high and the base only partially blocked. Nonetheless, it came to represent WORLD WAR 1 the embodiment of the bulldog spirit, the peculiarly British fighting élan, the belief that anything was March 2018 • 9781612005041 • £19.99 possible with enough dash and daring. Hardback • 228 x 152mm • 272 pages 32 pages of black and white illustrations and photos The story is told through direct, first-hand accounts of its survivors – including that of Lieutenant Richard Sandford, VC, the acknowledged hero of the day and the author’s great uncle, and the other men who volunteered in their hundreds for what they knew effectively to be a suicide mission.Zeebrugge gives a very real sense of the existence of the ordinary British men and women of 100 years ago – made extraordinary by their role in what Winston Churchill called the ‘most intrepid and heroic single armed adventure of the Great War.’

THE WORLD WAR I AVIATOR’S POCKET MANUAL By Chris McNab This pocket manual opens up the world of the Great War aviator, with extracts and images from WWI training manuals for pilots, with modern introductions. Aviation was still in its infancy when World War I broke out. The first men to take to the skies above the battlefield undertook reconnaissance. Pilots and observers soon branched out into primitive bombing attempts, and attacking enemy aircraft when they came into contact. Nascent air forces produced manuals to help these pioneers as they took warfare into a new dimension. Pulling together information from British manuals such as A Few Hints for the Flying Officer and Practical Flying, as well as American, German and French training guides, this pocket manual shows what type of information the pilots were given. From the basics of how to care for, start, and fly an aircraft, through tactics and strategy in the air, identifying whether vehicles below were friend or foe, interacting with mechanics, and coordinating with army or naval WORLD WAR 1 forces, this fascinating time capsule opens up the world of the Great War aviator.

OPERATION MARKET GARDEN September 1944 By Simon Forty and Tom Timmermans An up-to-date view of Operation Market Garden making full use of modern research. With over 500 illustrations including many maps, aerial photography and then and now images. The battle of Normandy ended as the Allied armies crossed the Seine at the end of August 1944, a month after Operation Cobra had broken the stalemate. The Allies harried the retreating Germans, who left their tanks and heavy weapons south of the Seine, and by mid-September the Allies were coming up against the defences of Germany itself, the impressive Westwall. As far as the Allies were concerned, the Germans were beaten. The scent of immediate victory was in the air, the only question was where to apply the coup de grace. Logistics demanded that this should be a single thrust rather than Eisenhower’s broad front approach. The plan was simple: use the Paratroopers to hold key bridges along a single route with British XXX Corps who would make an advance that would be “rapid and violent, and without regard to what is happening on the WORLD WAR II flanks.” Unfortunately, in spite of the audacious actions of the Paratroopers who would cover themselves June 2018 • 9781612005867 • £25.00 with glory, Operation Market Garden showed that the Hardback • 297 x 210mm • 192 pages German ground forces would still provide the Allies 500 colour and b/w photos throughout with stiff opposition in the West.

As with its companion volumes on D-Day, the Bocage, and the Ardennes battlefields, this book provides a balanced, up-to-date view of the operation making full use of modern research. With over 500 illustrations including many maps, aerial and then and now photography, it will provide the reader with an easy-to-read, up-to-date examination of each part of the operation, benefiting from on-the-ground research by Tom Timmermans, who lives in Eindhoven.

THE BLACK PRINCE AND THE CAPTURE OF A KING Poitiers 1356 By Morgen Witzel and Marilyn Livingstone A new detailed account of the battle of Poitiers in 1356 which saw one of the most sensational episodes of the Hundred Years War: the capture of the French King Jean by the Black Prince. The capture of a king in the course of a battle was a relatively rare event. This, the climactic event of the Black Prince’s first campaign as commander, came at the end of nearly of a year of campaigning across the southwest of France. The battle of Poitiers in 1356 is less well known than more famous clashes such as Agincourt, though Poitiers was no less dramatic, and equally important in terms of the course of the Hundred Years War. The capture of King Jean brought France to the brink of total defeat, and led to one of the most devastating and destructive periods in French history.

It is no exaggeration to say that the battle of Poitiers changed the course of history for both France and England. In the summer of 1356 the Prince and his army drove northward towards the Loire, attacking ANCIENT WARFARE once again deep into French territory. This time he met real opposition: the full French army led by King Jean May 2018 • 9781612004518 • £25.00 Hardback • 228 x 152mm • 336 pages and many of the leading nobility of France, some of 16 pages of b/w photos them veterans of the defeat at Crécy ten years before. Outnumbered, the Prince fell back, but in September he turned near the city of Poitiers to make a stand. The core of the book is a day-by-description of the campaign of July-September 1356, climaxing with a detailed description of the Battle of Poitiers itself. The detailed account and analysis of the battle and the campaigns that led up to it has a strong focus on the people involved in the campaign: ordinary men-at-arms and non-combatants as well as princes and nobles.

ON HER MAJESTY’S NUCLEAR SERVICE By Eric Thompson The first ever memoir by a Royal Navy nuclear submarine officer, this is the inside story of the men who ensured that ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ was maintained at all times during the Cold War. During the Cold War, nuclear submarines performed the greatest public service of all: prevention of a third world war. History shows that they succeeded; the Cold War ended peacefully, but for security reasons, only now can this story be told.

Eric Thompson is a career nuclear submarine officer who served from the first days of the Polaris missile boats until after the end of the Cold War. He joined the Navy in the last days of Empire, made his first sorties in World War II type submarines and ended up as the top engineer in charge of the navy’s nuclear power plants. Along the way, he helped develop all manner of kit, from guided torpedoes to the Trident ballistic missile system.

In this vivid personal account of his submarine operations, he reveals what it was like to literally have NAVAL HISTORY your finger on the nuclear button. In his journey, the author leads the reader through top-secret submarine February 2018 • 9781612005713 • £19.99 patrols, hush-hush scientific trials, underwater weapon Hardback • 228 x 152mm • 336 pages developments, public relations battles with nuclear 32 illustrations protesters, arm-wrestling with politicians and the changing roles of females and homosexuals in the Navy. It is essentially a human story, rich in both drama and comedy, like the Russian spy trawler that played dance music at passing submarines. There was never a dull moment. Behind the lighter moments was a deadly serious game. This, the inside story of Britain’s nuclear deterrent, reveals the secretive life of submarines and the men who served on them; they kept their watch, and by maintaining the threat of ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ helped keep Britain and the world safe.

MASTERS OF MAYHEM Laurence of Arabia and the British Military Mission to the Hejaz – The Seeds of British Special Operations By James Stejskal Explores the early use of modern unconventional warfare by T. E. Lawrence behind the lines in North Africa and Arabia during World War I. Striking where the enemy is weakest and melting away into the darkness before he can react. Never confronting a stronger force directly, but willing to use audacity and surprise to confound and demoralize an opponent. Operations driven by good intelligence, area knowledge, mobility, speed, fire-power, and detailed planning and executed by a few specialists with indigenous warriors – this is unconventional warfare.

T. E. Lawrence was one of the earliest practitioners of modern unconventional warfare. His tactics and strategies were used by men like Mao and Giap in their wars of liberation. Both kept Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom close at hand. This book looks at the creation of the HEDGEHOG force, the formation of armoured car sections and other units, and focuses the Hejaz WORLD WAR I | SPECIAL FORCES Operations Staff, the Allied officers and men who took Lawrence’s idea and prosecuted it against the Ottoman May-18 • 9781612005744 • £19.99 Hardback • 228 x 152mm • 304 pages Turkish army assisting Field Marshal Allenby to achieve 16 pages of b/w photos victory in 1918.

HOW ARMIES GROW The Enlargement of Military Forces in the Age of Total War 1789–1945 Edited by Matthias Strohn An anthology of case studies by academic historians into how armies have expanded during the period 1789–1945, providing insights for the modern army. The first two decades after the end of the Cold War were characterised by government’s desires to reduce the sizes of their armed forces. Hand in hand with this general reduction went an intellectual and doctrinal re- orientation of the armies from conventional warfare to counter-insurgency operations. These trends combined had a deep impact on all armies, in particular in Europe. As a result, capabilities were lost and the current generation of army leaders have lost the ability to think in terms of large-scale, conventional military operations.

Recent changes to the geopolitical situation and current developments in Eastern Europe have resulted in a new shift of thinking. Today, armies are growing again in size and all armies look back to the past in order to learn something about the build-up, DEFENCE STUDIES composition and use of large formations. Lessons from history that had been learned by armies the hard way Jun-18 • 9781612006017 • £50.00 are addressed in this book. What does history tell us Hardback • 228 x 152mm • 256 pages about these processes? How did armies prepare and train for a major conflict in times of peace? What internal structure did the armies adopt? What were the problems in the areas of equipment? All these questions were as relevant then as they are now. This anthology analyses a number of case studies and provides insights into themes and topics that characterised the so-called ‘reconstitution’ of armies in their historical and social contexts. The emphasis is on land forces, but air forces and navies are also included. The period covered is the “age of total war” from the French Revolution to the end of the Second World War, which provides the intellectual framework for the challenges that armies are facing today.

CASTLES FORTRESSES OF POWER Castles held a pivotal position as seats of power for centuries. This short history explores their significance, the battles and sieges that were fought over them, and life in and around the castle. After the Norman conquest of England, castles exploded in popularity amongst the nobility, with William the Conqueror building an impressive thirty-six castles from 1066–1087, including Windsor Castle. This concise and entertaining short history explores the life of the castle, one that often involved warfare and sieges. Also explored is how they evolved from motte-and-bailey to stone keep castles, in the face of newly- developed siege machines and trebuchets.

AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE BATTLE ON THE BEACHES A concise history of amphibious landings from World War I to the present day. One of the most difficult types of warfare to master, landing on a hostile beach requires scrupulous planning and intense coordination between the forces in the air, sea and land. With a history reaching back to the Persians landing on the Greek shores at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, it was the First World War that marked the beginning of modern amphibious warfare, with the disastrous Gallipoli campaign before experiencing more success in the Second World War with landings such as D-Day. This accessible short history looks at the historical development of amphibious warfare, telling the stories of particular landings, and the units that have taken part in this unique type of warfare.

THE WAFFEN-SS IN NORMANDY 1944: The Caen Sector and Operations Goodwood and Cobra By Yves Buffetaut Follows how the Waffen-SS fared in Normandy and whether they deserved their reputation of being the ultimate fighting soldiers. This latest in the Casemate Illustrated series examines the Waffen-SS in Normandy during the fierce fighting of June and July 1944, when they struggled to hold back the Allied advance on Caen, though the picture was by no means one-sided. Operations Goodwood and Cobra followed, which saw large tank battles and the collapse of the German front in Normandy. Extensively illustrated with photographs, tank profiles, maps, accompanied by profiles of key personnel and explanatory text boxes, this volume gives a clear and accessible account of events, challenging some popular perceptions along the way.

DeVito Action-packed account of fighting with the Filthy Thirteen as a spearhead of 101st Airborne in Normandy, Market Garden, and Battle of the Bulge by one of the squad’s integral members. In this long awaited work one of the squad’s integral members—and probably its best soldier—reveals his own inside account of fighting as a spearhead of the Screaming Eagles in Normandy, Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. Jack Womer fought beyond the breaking point of the soldiers around him. In this work, Jack provides an amazingly frank look at close-quarters combat in Europe, as well as the almost surreal experience of dust-bowl-era GI’s entering country after country in their grapple with the Wehrmacht, finally ending up in Hitler’s mountaintop lair in Germany itself.

No commander during the Civil War is more closely identified with the “cavalier mystique” as Major General J.E.B. (Jeb) Stuart. And none played a more prominent role during the brief period when the hopes of the nascent Confederacy were at their apex. Jeb Stuart was not only successful in leading Robert E.

James Gee’s covered the sinking of the Houston, his rescue by a Japanese ship, and his experiences in Japanese camps over the next three years. Rosalie worked his accounts into a manuscript, which following her sudden death, languished in an attic for thirty years. Now rediscovered, James’ story can be told to a new generation.

THE BATTLE OF CHERKASSY By Nikolaus von Vormann An account of the Battle at Cherkassy, written by one of the German commanders present there. The Battle of Cherkassy is also known as the Korsun Pocket, Korsun being the small town at the centre of the area containing the surrounded German forces. After sudden attacks by the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts, in January 1944 the Russians achieved a major encirclement of six German divisions, a total of 60,000 soldiers. Generalleutnant von Vormann’s account starts with the retreat to the Dnepr in 1943, describes the battle of Kirowograd from 5th-17th January 1944, the encirclement, and the breakout. His account also contains a description of the psychological effects on the men of this most brutal and physically exhausting battle. It is one of the few primary source materials that exists and is therefore of significant historical interest.

Includes the Second Anglo-Boer War, the two world wars, and the South African Border War. Twentieth-century South Africa saw continuous, often rapid and fundamental socio-economic and political change. The century started with a brief but total war and following a century of intermittent, violent conflicts, the century ended as it started, with another war. This book is the first study of the South African armed forces as an institution and of the complex roles that these forces played in the wars, rebellions, uprisings and protests of the period. This is a fascinating study of a century packed full of episode and personality in which South Africa was uniquely embroiled in three total wars.

JOHN ANDRÉ D. A. B. R O N A L D The Spy Who Turned Benedict Arnold By D. A. B. Ronald A new biography of John André, head of British secret services in the Revolutionary War, who was captured in 1780 and hanged as a spy.

Spanning a period of over forty years (1817–1858), the three Seminole Wars were America’s longest, costliest, and deadliest Indian wars, surpassing the more famous ones fought in the West. After an uneasy peace following the conclusion of the second Seminole War in 1842, a series of hostile events followed by a string of murders in 1849 and 1850 made confrontation inevitable. Written in a clear, easy-to-follow style, the work is intended for both a general and scholarly audience and will be of value to those interested in Florida history, American history in general, military history, Native American studies, and nineteenth century subjects.

WE FEW U.S. Special Forces in Vietnam By Nick Brokhausen Vivid Vietnam memoir of the author’s experiences in MACV-SOG, as a member of a small recon team, operating covertly in North Vietnamese-controlled areas. On his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. This unit was part of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group). The group conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, despite never exceeding 30 Americans. They were the best source for the enemy’s disposition and were key to the US military being able to take the war to the enemy. It came at a terrible price, however; the number of wounded and killed in action was incredibly high. This riveting memoir details the actions and experiences of a small group of Americans and their allies who were the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

27 RADIO RACKS 26 79 29

25 The radio needed all its wiring added which I did using different sized lead wire starting with the big power supply cables with 0.7mm wire. The power sockets had already been made from plastic rod so it was just a case of joining everything up. The cable ties were made from adhesive aluminium foil with etched buckles.

CONSTRUCTION 26 When I originally built the instrument panel I used the dedicated Archer decal set for the dials but further research has proved that the white faced dials are inaccurate postwar replacements. As I was also not entirely happy with the glazing on my original dials I decided to remake the instrument panel. I drew up new dials based on examples from Panther instruments and printed them out. This time I used a sheet of acetate for glazing and I have no idea why I did not do this the first time!

The braided cable that feeds into the intercom box 27 is made from Tamiya 1:48 scale tow rope. A spray of Mr Surfacer stiffens it up and helps you to position it. Cable clips hold it on the frame and the excess will be plumbed onto the roof brace once the radio is installed.

The sockets for the crew intercom have been glued in position 28 and holes for the cables pre-drilled to make fitting them easy.

A CAREFREE WAR The Hidden History of Australian WWII Child Evacuees By Ann Howard During World War II Australia was under threat of invasion. Could Australia be invaded by the Japanese?

Author Ann Howard, who was evacuated with her mother from the UK during World War II, writes this book to look at the effects this had on families.

Volume 2 focuses on the migration of the Army’s Air Service – and to some extent the Navy’s separate Air Service – towards a British Air Force intended to wipe the enemy’s Air Service from the sky and provide an aerial umbrella under which the Army’s Expeditionary Force on the ground could eventually move forward to victory.

The Battle of the Sambre, 4 November 1918, was a decisive British victory. The battle has, however, been largely neglected by historians: it was the last large-scale, set-piece battle fought by the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Dr Clayton’s analysis places the battle into its wider strategic context and reaches important, new conclusions: that this victory irrevocably and finally crushed the will of the German defenders, leading to a pursuit of a demoralized, broken and beaten army, whose means of continued resistance had been destroyed, thus expediting the armistice.

It was a year of intense combat that was defined by the Battle of the Somme and the appalling casualties of the 1st July 1916. Yet it was also the year in which the British Army began to master industrial warfare and the tide of the war began to turn in favour of the Allies. This book brings together leading scholars of the First World War to examine the experience of the British Army in this controversial year. Drawing upon the latest research, this book provides many valuable new insights and marks a major contribution to our understanding of the Battle of the Somme and the British Army of the First World War.

A million or more people perished in this conflict, the majority women and children who were starved to death. For that reason alone, this book is an important contribution towards understanding Nigeria’s ethnic divisions, which are no better today than they were then. Biafra was the first of a series of religious wars that threaten to engulf much of Africa.

MOLTKE AND HIS GENERALS A Study in Leadership By Quintin Barry When Helmuth von Moltke took over as Chief of the Prussian General Staff, the Prussian army had not fought for more than forty years. Yet within a decade and a half he had brought it to the point where it was the strongest in Europe. Helmuth von Moltke’s successes on the battlefield led to his methods being painstakingly analysed by commentators and slavishly imitated by Western armies. This book examines the key relationships Moltke had with his generals and how these men contributed to his success.

MUSCOVY’S SOLDIERS The Emergence of the Russian Army 1462–1689 By Michael Fredholm von Essen The early modern Russian army emerged from contacts with Mongols, the Caucasus, and Siberia, yet held its own against adversaries such as Sweden, Turkey, and China. The book describes and analyses the emergence of the early modern Russian army, before the military reforms introduced by Tsar Peter the Great brought it in line with developments in Western Europe. It will be shown that Tsar Peter’s reforms, although decisive, rested on a legacy of previous reforms. Yet, the origin of the early modern Russian army can be found in the East, not the West. The close association during the Middle Ages with the Mongol Golden Horde had transformed the Muscovite military system into a Eurasian one. 16TH CENTURY HISTORY

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF WAR The Human Experience of the English Civil Wars, 1642–1651 By Peter Gaunt Looks at how civilians coped with the English Civil War and the bloodshed which surrounded them in the 1640s and 50s. This book is about the generation who were alive in the mid seventeenth century and who witnessed, lived through and participated in the English civil wars of 1642–1651. It seeks to explore and retell the stories of those who fought or were directly caught up in the wars and to recover their varied personal experiences. Diaries, journals and letters have enabled us to build up a vivid picture of the varied experience of living through a civil war. These first person sources are revealed in this new study in order to construct a fresh interpretation of the human experience of the English civil wars. 17TH CENTURY HISTORY

DISPUTED VICTORY Schley, Sampson and the Spanish-American War of 1898 By Quintin Barry An account of the naval campaign of Santiago de Cuba during the Spanish- American War of 1898 and the subsequent public controversy and Court of Inquiry. In 1898 the United States went to war with Spain over the future of Cuba. The American navy had, in the preceding decade, been revived after years of neglect, and was much stronger than anything that the Spanish could bring against it. A military invasion of Cuba was supported by the rest of the US Navy, under the command of Admiral William T. Sampson. The subsequent naval campaign proved very controversial and led to public controversy and a Court of Inquiry. This book explores the rights and wrongs of the conduct of those principally involved in a battle that marked the dawn of the American empire.

A BATTLE TOO FAR Arras 1917 By Don Farr Fought in support of a French offensive intended to win the war, the Battle of Arras resulted in heavy losses for little gain after a promising start. The Battle of Arras has not received the attention it merits. It was fought in support of the French effort to win the war with one gigantic offensive. When the British attacked on 9 April, the Canadian Corps captured Vimy Ridge and Third Army made the furthest one-day advance to that date. But the attack lost momentum. The Fifth Army, assisting Third Army’s main thrust, found itself embroiled in a bitter and prolonged struggle to capture Bullecourt. With the French Army descending into crisis after repeated broken promises from General Nivelle, Haig felt the need to support the French by prolonging the Battle of Arras in support. The resultant assaults led to record casualties.

IN THE SHADOW OF ZITADELLE The Battles on the Mius Front 1943 By Alexei Isaev and Edited by Stuart Britton In the summer of 1943, in an enormous strategic offensive, the Soviets launched a successful attack that penetrated the German defences on the Mius Front. The Mius Front was a strong defensive line created by the Germans in the autumn of 1941 along the river of the same name. The area was the scene of fierce fighting through much of the winter, spring and summer of 1941–42, as the Soviets attempted to break through, albeit unsuccessfully. However, in the summer of 1943, the Soviets launched a successful attack that penetrated the German defences. This overlooked operation is described in detail by Alexei Isaev, using both Russian and German sources. The text is supported by a large number of photographs of the armoured forces involved, as well as specially commissioned maps.

That Polish city, occupied by the Nazis since almost the very beginning of the Second World War in 1939, was declared a fortress (Festung) on January 20 1945, and for the whole month it saw heavy fighting between Wehrmacht and Waffen SS troops. Among the garrison of the fortress a special part was played by a small heavy Panzer unit which possessed just 1 Tiger tank, 2 Panthers, 1 Panzer IV and a handful of Sturmgeschütze. This is the first book in English that allows the reader to follow the street fighting in Poznań through the eyes of the Wehrmacht soldiers, documenting the story of the German armoured forces engaged in the battles for the city.

The war between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1941–44 is much less known in the West and in Russia than the Winter War 1939–40. For Finland the Continuation War is one of the cornerstones of national identity. The Vyborg offensive, the battle that ended this war, is described very differently in Russian and Finnish literature. This book attempts to provide an extensive description of the build-up and course of the battle as well as the diplomatic games that lay behind it. The book includes photos and maps of the operations.

Actually, the KPAF was re-built and even made a come-back: re-equipped with piston-engined fighters by the end of 1950 before converting to jets just a year later.

The consequences and outcomes of the conflict still echo down the centuries till today. On Sunday 12th July 1691, two armies met in battle around the Galway village of Aughrim. To fight at all was a gamble by both commanders – St.Ruth commanding the forces loyal to King James II had run out of room to manoeuvre and had to fight and win if the Stuart cause were not to be extinguished. By the end of the day’s fighting, and in perhaps Ireland’s bloodiest battle, St.Ruth lay dead on the field and his army was in retreat to the ports of Galway and Limerick.

This original book shows that many memoirs of the Western Front are not only literary masterpieces but are also of great value to historians. Brian Bond examines a range of works in this neglected genre which demonstrate the remarkable variety of combat experiences and post-war reflections, ranging from poets like Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden striving to overcome traumas; to warriors or ‘Fire Eaters’ like Lord Reith and Alf Pollard who enjoyed the war. This book will stimulate readers to explore for themselves these eloquent and deeply moving classics of literature.

CITROËN ses camions et ses cars 1929–1974 By Wouter Jansen The development of Citroen as a producer of heavy-goods vehicles from 1929 to 1974. In 1919, André Citroën launches his first car totalling 10 horsepower. It would be another ten years before he produced anything which could be described as a “heavy goods vehicle” with the C6. Citroën would soon forge itself a reputation of robustness.

Thanks to its rich range of pictures (600 mostly unedited shots and illustrations), this book recreates the atmosphere of France at that time. The writer will also uncover the prototypes and Citroen projects that were never brought to life.

RAILS TO THE FRONT The Role of Railways in Wartime By Augustus J. Veenendaal and Roger H. Grant Captures the critical impact of railways in an abundance of conflicts worldwide, from the German revolutions in the 1840s to the Gulf War in the 1990s. The military use of railways derives from their ability to move troops or material rapidly and, less commonly, for their use as a platform for military systems (like armoured trains and heavy artillery). Until recently, the mobility of large armies generally depended on control of railways to move reinforcements, ammunition and food, as the locomotive and railway cars proved far superior to animal-drawn equipment. In Rails to the Front, historians Augustus J. Veenendaal and H. Roger Grant capture the critical impact of railways in an abundance of conflicts worldwide, from the German revolutions in the 1840s to the Gulf War in the 1990s. This lavishly illustrated, careful study is the first of its kind in English.

MIDWAY The Battle that Changed the Pacific War By Jay Wertz Visually portrays the story of the pivotal battle of Midway and how it turned the tide in the Pacific War. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the U. S. Pacific Fleet was bent but not broken. The fact that the fleet’s aircraft carriers were away from base at the time of the attack helped the navy under new commander Admiral Chester Nimitz react to further Japanese expansion in the Pacific. Soon after in June 1942, the success of American codebreakers allowed the United States fleet to be ready for the Japanese at Midway. All the preparations, actions, personalities and results of the Battle of Midway are chronicled in graphic story form in Midway – The Battle That Changed the Pacific War.

Despite horrendous conditions, lack of air support, food and medicine, sheer grit compelled the Americans and Filipinos not to give up, even if the rest of the world had given up on them.

THE FLEET AT FLOOD TIDE America at Total War in the Pacific, 1944–1945 By James Hornfischer One of the most consequential campaigns of the Pacific War was the U.S. Fifth Fleet’s seizure of the Marianas. The seizure of the Marianas was a relentless deployment of overwhelming force on air, land, and sea that opened the path to total victory over Japan and established a new state of the art in warfare with the first use of the forerunners of today’s SEALs. From the epic seaborne invasion of Saipan, to the stunning aerial battles of the Marianas Turkey Shoot, to the grinding combat ashore and the devastating bombing campaign that culminated with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Marianas were the fulcrum of the Pacific, a kaleidoscope of valour, drama, and tragedy.

CAPTURED ARMS/ BEUTEWAFFEN By Guus de Vries Vol. IX in the Propaganda Photo Series on World War II German small arms. This volume is dedicated to the millions of small arms that were captured by the German army in more than 12 different countries. Most captured weapons were re-issued to the TIES BV German army, para-military units and auxiliaries and they were often used in their original state, but sometimes modified to German standards, or re-purposed to improve the weapons being fought with by the army. Such captures often led to new and adapted technologies, as the weapon developers took the best of the ideas from others and enhanced them with their own. This book covers all small arms and many other weapons. Last but not least, Captured Arms / Beutewaffen features a unique selection of original German World War II propaganda photos, depicting captured arms in use in German service.

THUNDER IN THE HARBOR Fort Sumter, Charleston, and the American Civil War By Chris Mackowski At 4:30 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries opened fire. Thirty- four hours later, with their supplies running low but their honour satisfied, Federal forces lowered their tattered flag. The only casualty was an accidental death which came after the surrender. It was otherwise a bloodless first battle to the bloodiest four years in American history. But those fateful first shots of the Civil War marked only the first of many chapters for Sumter. Over the next four years, the fort and the harbour it protected weathered bombardments and blockades; the launch and loss of the Confederate submarine Hunley and Sherman’s march to the sea. Thunder in the Harbor recounts Fort Sumter’s history in engaging prose. It is also supplemented with more than a hundred historical photos and illustrations, captivating contemporary photography, and detailed maps.

By Civil War standards, the day-long Battle of Fort Pillow, Tennessee (April 12, 1864) was a rather small affair, and yet it is one of the most debated and polarizing events of the entire war. Its infamy rests in what history has concluded was the wholesale massacre of the United States coloured Troops (U.S.C.T.) defending the fort. Author James Moshier’s Truth Massacred: The Battle at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, April 12, 1864, challenges this traditional belief and reaches some stunning conclusions.

LaSaine A new biography of the architect of RAF Fighter Command in the centennial year of the Royal Air Force. The historical significance of Dowding’s life and military career rests primarily on two elements. First, as the original AOC-in-Chief, RAF Fighter Command, he directed the initial planning, organisation, training, and equipment of the world’s first truly integrated air defense system. Second, he directed the operations of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, the first sustained engagement between independent air forces in military history, and one of the campaigns whose outcomes turned the course of World War II. Dowding was thus not only one of the master builders of air power, but also the only Airman to have been the winning commander in one of history’s decisive battles.

BLESSINGS FROM BEIJING Inside China’s Soft-Power War on Tibet By Greg C. Bruno After sixty years in exile, can the Tibetan diaspora survive the onslaught of a newly assertive China? Blessings from Beijing untangles the chains that tie Tibetans to China and examines the political, social, and economic pressures that are threatening to destroy Tibet’s refugee communities. Journalist Greg Bruno has spent nearly two decades living and working in Tibetan areas. Bruno journeys to the front lines of this fight: to the high Himalayas of Nepal, where Chinese agents pay off Nepali villagers to inform on Tibetan asylum seekers; to the monasteries of southern India, where pro-China monks wish the Dalai Lama dead; to Asia’s meditation caves, where lost souls ponder the fine line between love and war; and to the streets of New York City, where the next generation of refugees strategizes about how to survive China’s relentless assault.

A FEW PLANES FOR CHINA The Birth of the Flying Tigers By Eugenie Buchan A new history of the genesis of the legendary Flying Tigers. In A Few Planes for China, Eugenie Buchan draws on wide-ranging new sources to overturn seventy years of received wisdom about the genesis of the Flying Tigers. This strange experiment in airpower was accidental rather than intentional; haphazard decisions and changing threat perceptions both shaped its organisation and deprived it of resources. In the end it was the British—more than any American in or out of government—who got the Tigers off the ground. On the eve of Pearl Harbor, the most important man behind the Flying Tigers was not Claire Chennault but Winston Churchill.

THE BRITISH ON THE BELGIAN COAST The North Sea as Front Line during the Great War British soldiers defending the Allied front in Belgium on land, sea and air during World War I. Brave Little Belgium motivated many in Britain and her Empire to enlist. Marines and Naval troops were the first to come to assist the Belgians at Antwerp; and their Navy’s artillery helped to stop the German advance at Nieuport, on the river Yser. The North Sea became a new front line where the Dover Patrol came to the aid of the Belgian, French and British troops with warships, heavy artillery in the dunes and new fighter planes, showing the importance placed on fighting the German U-boat bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend from the sea as well as from land.
